Error description
Setting the "Remember User ID" checkbox in the IBM Rational ClearQuest (CQ) Web 7.1 login panel, would default the cursor to jump to the Password field. In CQ Web 8 the cursor goes to the User ID field. Users inherently start typing their passwords when the form is loaded not realizing that they are typing it in cleartext in the username field. It is a security risk. The actual behavior is not consistent. It depends on browser type and version. Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) versions which can see this issue include, but not limited to the below: IE 8.0.6001.18702 IE 10.0.9200.17089 IE 10.0.9200.17183 IE 11.0.9600.16384 IE 11.0.9600.17420
